ynetnews.com — The commandment to "be fruitful and multiply" the Krishevsky family follows quite closely. Last Saturday, the great grandmother, Rachel Krishevsky passed away at the age of 99, leaving behind no less than 1,400 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren.

Not to mention cousin-marrying was not uncommon 99 years ago.

Overpopulation is such a tired sham-scare. News flash -- technology allows more people to live off a constant piece of land. If India/China had the same industrialized farming process we in the West do today, they could easily feed 10x as many people. Now imagine what GMO crops, robotics, and other yet-to-be-invented technologies will do to our agriculture sector?Every sign points to less and less man power / land use being dedicated to agriculture in the future yet some fools insist that over population is the problem. Half the industrialized world (including Russia, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Italy, etc) are actually PAYING citizens to have children since the population trend is DOWNWARD!As for the developing nations, their problem is not overpopulation, it is under investment in infrastructure and technology. The West should not be subsidizing their failure with UN handouts & foreign aid. Let them suffer a few mass-famines / civil wars so the corrupt leaders are ousted so forward-looking leaders can take over.

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I've realized that you are not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment. But you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague. And we are... the cure.

Oh and I forgot:9) CO2, Global Warming. Assuming it is in our hands to control / stop Global Warming, why is a cooler earth preferred to a warmer one anyway? I got no problem growing oranges in my New Jersey suburban backyard. It's not like sea levels are going to rise over night, the people in coastal regions or places like Bangladesh will have plenty of time to move. Additionally, walls and barriers can be erected to keep the sea out. We already have land reclamation and artificial islands, maybe the threat of global warming is all we need to speed-up research in these areas. I read about a 'cloud seeding' plan where fleets of ships would spew sea water upward at regular rates to deflect sun rays. Necessity is the mother of all invention. I can't wait to see what terraform technology comes out to solve the Global Warming issue.
